Video series I recorded with Your Heaven® at NERFA 2024 (North East Regional Folk Alliance) using Your Heaven® Audio's CloseUp® System. The sound you're hearing is the instrument amplified through the CloseUp® System's microphone, which I helped design and develop! Our microphone - the CloseUp® System - is a unique mic system for amplifying and recording the sound of acoustic musical instruments. With five patents, the CloseUp® System captures the authentic sound of your instrument at any live venue. It also isolates your sound better than any other microphone, to effortlessly avoid feedback and reject unwanted noises.
